Trafford Eco-House

The Trafford Eco House already has a presence on ‘green maps’ of Greater Manchester because of the residents demonstration of super-local food growing. The family currently source around 40% of their food from their own back garden, and the client is a professional advisor on climate change and food related issues.

This refurbishment and extension project has been influenced by the economic climate. A key driver for the resident is reduced fuel bills and a reduced dependency on increasingly expensive fossil fuels - whilst also being able to accommodate the growing needs of their family without being forced to move house. The project received planning permission in late 2013.
